Description
A naturally occurring black powder. Cobaltic oxide is used to give a brilliant blue color glaze and enamel. Cobalt oxide was used as a blue colorant in ceramic glazes and underglazes since at least the 8th century in the Middle East. It became very popular in the 14th century when it was used for Ming Dynasty ceramics. Cobaltic oxide is not used as a black paint pigment.
